About This Movie

Astigmatism, directed by an unknown talent, dives into a raw exploration of emotional turmoil, set against the backdrop of a group therapy session. The film's pacing feels deliberate, with moments of tension that keep you on edge, reflecting Sarah's internal struggle.

Performances are striking, particularly from the lead who encapsulates vulnerability and resilience. There's an interesting use of practical effects that subtly enhance the psychological themes, adding layers to the storytelling. It’s distinctive in how it portrays the complexity of human connection amidst trauma, leaving you with a lingering sense of unease.
